Umanga at the Camogie Final.

The first I saw of Umanga was when we collected him. He looked very excited because it was the first camogie final he had ever been to. When we got to the pitch where we were playing he was jumping up and down. We all went into the dressing rooms while Umanga waited outside. When we went outside Umanga said "goodluck and that I hope you win!". While the team was on the pitch the subs tried to control Umanga but they all said, it was very hard. All during the match he kept cheering us on and when the others scored a goal he still kept cheering. When we won Umanga gave us all a hug and said, "Congratulations and that we played brilliant". Umanga even said, "hard luck to the other team". When we were going home Umanga was singing along all the time with us. He even got out of the bus when we got home to look at the bonfires we were having, and he loved the both of them. Then when we got to the tractor and trailer we all got on including Umanga and he loved it when we went on it around the town. Then when we went to the chippers he sat beside Amiee Murphy Akinson and got chicken nuggets and chips with red sauce, and he thought it was delicious. When we were finished he said, "that he was tired". So Amiee brought him to her house and put him in his bed.
